City Services

We contract for our city services separately from Metro Louisville as follows.

Supplemental Police

LMPD and 911 are your first source of police, fire or medical protection in an emergency, but we also contract with Strathmoor Village Police Department for additional neighborhood police services. SVPD is present at our city activities, and can often be seen patrolling Kingsley watching for traffic violations. They will also do house checks if you go out of town. Just fill out the house check request form a week or two before you plan to leave.

Residents should make note of the following phone numbers:

911: Use this number for all emergencies (immediate threat to safety or health, break-in in progress, etc.)

574-7111 (Option 5): Police Dispatch; use this number when you wish to speak with someone regarding an issue that is not urgent (break-in found, door-to-door solicitors, etc.)

Trash/Yard Waste/Recycling Pickup

Trash, recycling and yard waste collection for the City of Kingsley are contracted through Waste Management of Kentucky. If you have any problems with or concerns about any of their services, please call Waste Management at 502-966-0117.

All services are from the curb and must be out by 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday. When a holiday falls on a Tuesday, collection will be delayed by one day. If an elderly or disabled resident needs their trash collected at the rear of their home, call the commissioner in charge of trash pickups. That commissioner will contact Waste Management to arrange the service.

Trash Collection

Waste Management will collect up to 5 standard trash cans 30-32 gallons each, or 10 standard garbage bags. Each residence will be provided one 96 gallon wheeler from Waste Management. If your house does not have a waste wheeler, contact Waste Management at 966-0117 and they will deliver it to your home. The wheeler should stay with the house if you are moving from the city.

Items that will NOT be picked up are:

• Construction debris
• Hazardous materials
• Tires
• Batteries
• Electronics
• Motor oils and filters
• Paints and paint cans
• Medicines
• Refrigeration appliances.

Note: If you want a second wheeler, the homeowner will be responsible for additional fee

Recycling Collection

Each residence should have a green Waste Management recycle bin, which stays with the home if you move. If you are missing a recycle bin, call Waste Management at 966-0117.  Recycling is picked up every other week, the schedule is listed on the Home Page.  Waste Management has ordered us 96 gallon haulers for our recycling, but they have not been delivered yet due to shipping delays.

ACCEPTABLE recycles include:

• All plastics #1-7 except foam cups and packing materials
• Aluminum products such as cans, foil
• Paper bags
• Cardboard
• Clean paper
• Glass containers

Yard Waste Collection

Yard waste is collected all year round by Waste Management. Yard waste includes grass, weeds, leaves, shrubbery, branches (not exceed 3 inches in diameter or 4 feet in length). Yard waste must be placed in paper bags (up to 10) labeled “Yard Waste”. Loose items should be bundled and not exceed 4 feet in length or 50 pounds. Christmas trees will be picked up as a tree.  With manpower shortages due to COVID, our schedule has changed to an every other week pickup as shown on the home page.

Special Trash Pickup

If you have items that do not fall into regular trash pickup categories, Waste Management offers these additional products:

• CFL lamp disposal through the US Mail
• Used syringes through the US Mail
• Construction debris bags instead of a dumpster

Snow Removal

The City contracts with a landscape/snow removal company to keep our streets clean and safe for driving. If a snow is expected, try to move your car to your driveway to allow the snow plows unimpeded access to our streets.
